The release date for the $2.50 add-on chip with last year's winner Noel Furlong on it will be Mother's Day May 14th at 9 A.M. This comes directly from the Horseshoe Casino Cage Manager. The chips are now in the main cage & I asked her if the first name was spelled correctly. She was not in that cage at the time & was off this weekend. So, I'll know for sure in the next day or two.

I now have 5 of the $500 buy-in chips & if it were not for two river cards that did not go my way I could be up to 10! The Horseshoe is only allowing players in games to smoke. That means the people on the rail can't which has helped quite a bit. The first tournament starts tomorrow (Monday) at noon! Below is another Web site which will be having final table play each day LIVE for those interested. Andy - Las Vegas
